WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday was given a final copy of the completed Defense Department Inspector General report that examined his sharing sensitive military information on a Signal group chat back in March, according to two people familiar with the investigation.

The much-anticipated report is expected to become public as early as this week, these people said.

The report outlines the findings of a more than eight-month investigation into Hegseth’s use of Signal, an encrypted but unclassified messaging app, to share details of planned U.S. military strikes in Yemen before they had begun.

Hegseth has maintained that he shared no classified information on the group chat. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

2. Pete who?

We, the Pentagon, find the current Sec of W awesome and puts the “war” in “warrior”.

We, law-abiding Americans, find the current Sec of W puts the “war” in “war crimes”.

3. I think the report will be factual and will call out security shortcomings. If there is any further action it ...

... it will have to come from Congress. The Pentagon doesn't have the stroke to punish a civilian in a Courts Marshal which would require a board of higher or equal rank. While Hogsbreath is a rank piece of man meat, he's the boss and a civilian.

4. Maybe. Don't forget that one of the first things Trump did after taking office was to purge 17 IGs

I'd have a lot more faith in the report if it had happened before Trump got rid of the previous IG (likely illegally).

7. The Navy took down a bunch of very high ranking officers over the fraud with suppliers in West Pac during the Obama ...

5. Funny how we can never do the punishing part.

6. Turn out the vote.

8. "Hegseth has a record of endangering our troops and violating laws.."

Hegseth has a record of endangering our troops and violating laws — he shared sensitive military plans on Signal and ordered strikes that killed nearly a hundred people on boats in both the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.

I’ve said it before and will say it again— Hegseth has GOT TO GO.
